I will buy Amelia’s Secretary, but cannot give her more than $12. for it, for second-hand furniture of that kind, is very cheap. I wish you would let me know if Mr Tweedy has sent you that $25,00 according to orders- Tell me whether you shall be likely to want any more before I get home- I have to meditate my speech for this eve- ning a while & must close soon. Tell Frank to write me- I shall write to the Harbinger when we get done here- By the way have there any letters in reference to the Experimental Association come to hand? I have not got a Harbinger since leaving home Do the prin ters send them? How dreadful & dismal it must be at BF now the Schetters & so many are gone- John Allen is full of Ellen Lazarus- “sighing like furnace” & though his “prospect is darkening” he “thinks it will go.” _But Keep Dark!_ now Blessed Child. I am well & determined: be you [solemn?] & hopeful- give my love to our blessed mother- to Father Fanny, Frank & John How do you get your water carried? I am ever your dearest _John_ P.S. Excuse this miserable paper & I’ll not use for your letters again [page break] [address] Mrs John Orvis Brook Farm West Roxbury Mass-
